Exceptional Services

Excellent law firm, highly recommend. Very helpful throughout the entire process and answered all of the questions I had. Specifically worked with Aidan who was an outstanding assistant.

Perfect service and outcome

Riotto has helped me with a handful of infractions and has been exemplary in their service and their outcomes. The process is easy and smooth, they literally take care of everything and their communication is outstanding. I recommend Riotto Law for anyone in Rochester or the surrounding areas who is ...facing a traffic/vehicle infraction.

Highly impressed by Riotto Law Firm

As a retired USAF Lieutenant Colonel, I hold integrity, professionalism and performance as characteristics that I value. I retained Mr Riotto based on the recommendation of another lawyer, and Mr Riotto exemplifies integrity, professionalism and performance. My case reached the outcome I desired ve...ry quickly. I spoke to at least 45 lawyers prior to meeting Mr Riotto, and not one of those other 45 lawyers spoke to me respectfully. Mr Riotto and his team treated me very humanly and answered my questions quickly, with no sneaky billing tactics. I highly recommend contacting Mr Riotto if you want someone who'll truly fight for you!

Office of James L. Riotto Review

Was issued a speeding citation (first time offense), and team at the Office of James L. Riotto took care of the matter for me. I was skeptical at first since I wasn't sure what I was doing, but the team explained the whole process in understandable terms. Very responsive to emails and phone calls and... very professional as well. They were able to reduce my ticket down to about 200 bucks plus court fees and I got no points taken off my license. Would choose this office again.

Highly Recommend the Law Office of James Riotto

I had a wonderful experience working with the law office of attorney James Riotto. In my 20 years of driving in the area, I received a traffic ticket for the first time late one night in August last year. I was a bit shaken by it and the attorney's team especially Michela Deaton was very helpful and ...responsive to all my questions and emails. The matter was resolved with a small fine and no points. I would highly recommend the law firm for traffic matters. Vasanthi
